Should there be some temp protect on lines going into FW

[Mawrick 0]

As I'v changed my cooling system som samco hoses (VR6) I noticed one of the OEM hoses that went into the firewall had a heat protection pipe around it - do I need this also on the samco's ? (it didn't fit, so eventually have to cut it and "tape" it over or something).

 

Any experiences?

When I fitted my Samco's over 2 years ago I thought the same but in the end never tried to fit the protective sleeve and mine have been OK.

As Samco say there hoses can withstand extreme heat and pressure, so they should be OK :wink:
